What do I truly want after experiencing happiness?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"True happiness reveals the cycle of misery, igniting a deeper desire not for more pleasure, but for transcendence—sannyas, the conscious death of the ego, leading to true freedom."
According to Osho, after tasting happiness you eventually see its cycle with misery and feel a deeper urge—not for more pleasure or physical escape, but for transcendence. That true want is sannyas: a deliberate ‘suicide’ of the mind/ego, entering the stream toward freedom, maturing in awareness, and ending the repetitive return to the same life-patterns.
After feeling happy, what you really want is to stop the up-and-down by dropping the old mind and living freely from awareness.
